Are you on the same team as your dog, or are you pulling in different directions? Thomas and Fanny discuss why we end up with conflict, and what we can do to avoid it. @fannyftw @ru7herford

    1. Planning for agility puppies

    This spring, Fanny and Thomas are getting two puppies that hopefully will make their way onto the agility field. One working bred border collie who also will run sheepdog trials, one working cocker spaniel who also will hunt and compete in field trials. We discuss what our priorities are for puppy training, the differences between the breeds, and how to prepare for doing multiple activities with the same dog.
